Ye Yuwu didn't notice anything amiss until the servant left.

The servant, carrying the book in his arms, avoided the crowd and walked into a secluded alley, where a luxurious carriage was parked, exuding an air of nobility.

If Ye Yuwu were there, she would recognize it as the carriage she had encountered when distributing flyers near the academy.

"My lord, the book has arrived." The servant walked to the side of the carriage and respectfully handed the book to the carriage door.

At this moment, a pair of slender, bony hands reached out from inside the carriage, took the book, and carried it into the carriage. Soon after, the servant heard the sound of fingertips tapping on the side of the carriage.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately sat on the front of the carriage and spurred the horse toward the street.

The man sitting inside the carriage possessed an exceptionally handsome face, like a delicate painting. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, his face was handsome, his nose was high and straight, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his temperament was outstanding.

Dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, whiter than snow, with his long, jet-black hair tied up, he sat in the carriage, exuding an air of refined elegance and worldly nobility.

His long, slender hands, gripping the book, turned slightly white, and his eyes, stained with thick ink, made it impossible to discern his thoughts.

The servant driving the carriage didn't understand the Marquis's purpose either. They were originally going back to their residence after the morning court session, but when they passed a street, he suddenly signaled the servant to stop.

The servant saw Miss Ye changing into strange clothes from afar.

I've met this Miss Ye several times. Each time, she relentlessly pesters me to find out where the Marquis is. She shamelessly follows him around and occasionally gives him things under various pretexts.

The Marquis ignored her and even found her annoying. She finally managed to find an opportunity to leave Bianjing in front of the Emperor.

However, the story of this Miss Ye has been widely discussed in Bianjing recently.

I heard that she is not the daughter of the Tai family. The real daughter is someone else. Moreover, Miss Ye has been kicked out of the mansion. It's pitiful that a weak woman has to go out and make a living.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have imagined that Miss Ye, who always dressed up meticulously by the Marquis's side, would be dressed so plainly, constantly shouting to make money. It was truly a pity.

But what puzzled him most was that his master, the Marquis, actually asked him to buy books from Miss Ye's stall, even though he didn't seem interested in the books at all.

The servant, trying to figure out what the Marquis was thinking, arrived at the Marquis's residence in no time.

Bai Zunyue, holding two books in her hands behind her back, strolled leisurely into the mansion and walked to the garden.

Sure enough, a pink figure could be seen in the distance.

He walked behind him, and a maid on one side was about to curtsy when he waved her off.

He then gently tapped the woman's head with the book he was holding.

The woman winced in pain, covered her head with her hand, turned around and saw that it was her own brother. She looked at him with a mournful expression.

"Brother!" It turned out that she was reading in the pavilion in the garden and did not notice his arrival, which allowed him to take advantage of her.

Bai Zunyue didn't explain further and tossed the book in her hand into her arms, saying, "This is a gift for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left and walked towards his study, as if he had completed some task, which made Bai Zunxing, who was sitting on the spot, grit his teeth in anger.

Bai Zunxing loves reading and is open to all kinds of books. She came to the garden today to read, and the beautiful scenery and the books made it a wonderful experience!

Bai Zunyue gave the book to her because she knew her younger sister liked reading.

Bai Zunyue was furious. She threw the book aside and started reading the book she hadn't finished because she had been interrupted.

She finished reading the book in no time, but it was still early, and she didn't know what to do back in her own courtyard. She had almost finished reading all the books she had read recently, and she didn't want to go back to her courtyard.

Just as she was thinking of feeding the fish in the pond, she saw the two books he had just tossed aside. One of them was the Three Character Classic, which she was past the age of learning.

The other one... she looked at it closely.

Hmm, this is a book I've never heard of before.

"The First Publication in a Square Inch"—what kind of book is this? I've never heard of it before.

The book cover was unique; she had never seen a book cover made so exquisitely before, which caught her attention.

Curious, she opened the book to the first page, where the title of each story and the author were written in detail.

She then realized that the book must be composed of a series of short stories, and she had read many books like that before.

She thought this way, but when she actually started reading, she found it to be quite different. Each story here was written in concise language, not obscure or difficult to understand, and was also very interesting, with a wide variety of stories.

It's perfect for watching during leisure time; it won't make you feel too upset.

She gazed at the sunset for an entire afternoon, and even as the evening glow faded across the sky, her maidservant reminded her that it was time for dinner, but she still lingered, reluctant to leave.

If Bai Zunyue hadn't sent someone to urge her to eat, she might still have remained indifferent.

Now, it's just her and her brother at home. For a young lady who rarely leaves the house and can only eat in her boudoir, there aren't many rules in the Marquis's mansion, so she can also go to the dining hall to eat with her brother.

The White-Clad Alien has arrived, but he hasn't let go of what he's holding. One hand is holding an open book, while the other is eating food, but his eyes never leave the book in his hand.

Bai Zunyue looked at his younger sister expressionlessly, and naturally recognized the book in her hand as the one he had given her at noon earlier that day. So he couldn't help but say, "Zunxing, you need to concentrate on eating."

"Okay, brother, but please indulge me today. This book is so good. I've already read the last story and will finish it soon."

She didn't originally intend to eat or read, but for some reason, the book was so captivating that she felt restless and itchy to finish it.

Especially the last story, could it be considered a vernacular story?

She would sometimes secretly ask her maid to buy her storybooks. She had read quite a few, but the storybook she was reading today had a plot she had never seen before, and it was so captivating that she couldn't put it down. The prince's character was just too unique.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) about cleanliness, but it only applies to the female lead. When he encounters the maid, all his plans fall apart.

Bai Zunxing blushed deeply at the sight of their previous interactions.

I couldn't stop watching, and sometimes I couldn't help but laugh out loud because of some of the plot points (in modern terms, I would say I had a maternal smile).

Just as she couldn't help but smile again, Bai Zunyue suddenly snatched the book from her hand. His slender fingers rested on the book, creating a strange and beautiful effect.

Bai Zunxing rolled her eyes at him accusingly, "Brother!"

"The book is confiscated for now. I'll give it back to you whenever you finish reading it." Bai Zunyue's originally expressionless face furrowed slightly, his handsome face showing a cold and unquestionable expression.

"His domineering personality is just like the princes in those storybooks!" she snorted, muttering to herself while shoveling rice into her mouth, not daring to say it to his face.

"Hmm?" Bai Zunyue didn't hear what she said. He raised his eyelids and asked casually.

"No, no... Brother, where did you buy this book?" she stammered, quickly changing the subject.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "I just bought it from a roadside stall."

"You can just buy books on the street?" She looked at her brother with a skeptical expression.

However, Bai Zunyue was adept at hiding her emotions, making it impossible for others to discern them.

She only saw his dark, cold eyes, as deep as a pool, but she didn't see the fleeting, almost imperceptible glint in them.
